In the 4th round, the New York Mets have selected RHP Peter Kussow from Arrowhead Union HS – strong fastball/slider combination with a developing change up. Fastball can touch 95, but sits in the low-90s. At 6’5”, 205lbs, there is plenty of room for him to continue to put on muscle

The 18-year-old was the only high school pitcher invited to the MLB Combine and went 5-2 with a 2.03 ERA during his senior season.
I’ve seen a lot of comps to Clark Schmidt
His profile also kind of reminds me of Jonah Tong
I’d expect this is the guy we go over slot on with the savings in the first round because of his college commitment
BPs write up a couple months ago projected him going into college and being drafted early in the first round in a few years
here we go this is one of the higher ceiling guys prospect huggers can get excited about
Hiding the ball is not in this guy’s wheelhouse.
